Lock the doors, turn off the lights and live the nightmare. Resident Evil, possibly the most terrifyingly realistic video game ever created - is heading your way and it’s exclusive to Nintendo GameCube!

Bizarre murder cases are being reported all over Racoon City, with outlandish reports of people being attacked by large gangs! Victims were apparently eaten. The S.T.A.R.S (Special Tactics and Rescue Squad) Bravo team has been sent into the forest on the outskirts of Racoon City to investigate but have mysteriously disappeared overnight.

S.T.A.R.S operatives Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine, along with the rest of Alpha team have been sent to investigate the disappearance of the Bravo team. Their mission is to investigate the ominous mansion in the heart of the woods, uncover the hideous secrets behind the mysterious genetic research facility and survive long enough to make it out alive.

With an entirely new gameplay experience for the GameCube, players will face sheer terror as they uncover terrifying secrets, solve hair-raising mysteries and survive blood thirsty zombies and other unspeakable horrors that wait around nearly every turn.

  • The graphics in Resident Evil are nothing short of brilliant, with pre-rendered backgrounds that look unbelievably real. The backgrounds are enhanced with real-time effects such as wind, lighting and shadows.
  • Zombies and other frightening enemies look terrifying, with attention to even the goriest detail.
  • Each screen in the game looks absolutely stunning, with the smallest conceivable details being attended to. From small drips of water, a faint mist rolling across the screen, smoke coming from the barrel of the gun, flaking paint on walls, glistening of light off wet rocks and even coagulating blood on Zombies’ wounds.
  • Incredibly detailed character models come alive with life-like facial features, clean-crisp textures, realistic animation and varying emotions.
  • Players will appreciate such subtle effects as puddles and rain splashing, candles flickering, trees and grass swaying in the wind.
  • Cinematic cut scenes and camera angles add a dynamic movie-like feel, heightening tension and adding drama to the experience.


  • Resident Evil on the GameCube brings new meaning to the term “survival horror”. The most terrifying game experience just got scarier, and will leave players in a state of blissful panic.
  • Players face sheer terror as they encounter countless undead and mutated enemies including the all-new Crimson Zombie that will hunt them down at terrifying speeds.
  • Resident Evil on the GameCube offers an all-new game experience over the original, with vastly improved graphics, new storyline twists, new weapons and enemies and all-new areas to explore - including estate rooms, secret lairs, forest trails, graveyards and guest houses.
  • New defensive items are included to help players out of heated situations. If a zombie is on the attack, players can stab him in the head with a dagger, shock him with a stun gun or even blow off his head with a well-placed grenade. Ouch!
  • Players will enjoy the challenge of the perfect blend of gameplay styles, with problem solving, exploration, strategy and heart pumping action.
  • Play as either S.T.A.R.S team member Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, each with his or her own unique strengths, weaknesses and gameplay experiences.
